A few months back I started with the task of baking through a cookbook that my Grandma gave me belonging to her Grandma. The first recipe I made from it was some buns, which I used to announce my pregnancy. As I’m still waiting for the baby to appear- and getting a bit bored, I […]
I’ve been quiet for a few months on here but it’s not for lack of things to write about! We’ve had a busy summer with work, holidays, and other exciting things going on, but as the baby is due any day now, I’ve been saving things up to write about for when I’m on maternity […]
This post relates to something very exciting that happened recently, but I’m actually writing it to begin a baking series. It was a significant birthday recently, and my Grandma gave me a book of recipes which she was given from her mother, which she thinks may have come from a couple of generations before that, […]
Over the last few years Steve and I have enjoyed going on holiday with my Mum using her timeshare. We went to Tenerife a couple of years ago, and Gran Canaria before that. We were working our way through the Canary Islands when Mum decided that the increasing costs of the scheme weren’t worth continuing. […]
As the nights start getting longer and the days get colder and wetter, it’s easy to forget that summer was only a few weeks ago, and more difficult to remember that we did use to have sunshine. I’ve realised that time has slipped away and we’ve somehow ended up in December and I haven’t written […]

I’m sure it hasn’t escaped anyone’s attention that Christmas has just been and gone. As a clergy family we’ve been incredibly busy over the last few weeks with Christmas related stuff- an increased social calendar in church; the kids having various Christmas activities going on; preparing for family coming to stay; buying and wrapping our […]
One day I will get into the habit of writing things up soon after they’ve happened, but the last month or so has been so busy that I haven’t got round to it, and it’s only because I’ve got something else to write up that I’m getting round to it now! For the last few […]
One thing I really enjoy about being a stepmum is the opportunity to make birthday cakes for the kids. When I was growing up, me and my brother would always have a homemade birthday cake, so it’s something that I take for granted as part of family life. Having said that, my brother always had- […]
So, after 3 other blog posts and 2 months after the holiday, we finally make it to the big one, Disneyland. Disney is the big one for a few reasons: firstly, that it’s so iconic. Everyone has heard of Disneyland and has a vision of what it is like. The tagline is “the place where […]
